Ramseyman is quite correct Tomp. Shirley are a great tomato plant to grow (that's what I've got in me front garden) I've had about half a dozen now. Only problem I have had was a few have split skins.. My fault through not watering twice a day when it wwas sunny during the week (till the split ones will be alright sliced and friedĀ with tomorrows fry up.
great stuff, i've taken notes and will plant shirley's next year, I'm on a big learing curve here, and yes ramseyman I will sing to em, not sure it'll do any good though, the wife always does a runner when i pick the mic up at a kareoke night,
some little blighters eating MY tomatos, I'm gonna sit in wait tonight and ambush the son of a butch,
you're actualy right on the money there mr grim, I've just come in from't pub, gone down t' greenhouse and picked 3 humpty backed snails working their way up to the fruits, I'm not normally a violent man but when pushed to the limits I can give as good as I get, so i threw the begers into next doors fish pond, the fish will eat good tonight and hopefully that will serve as a lesson to the other slimey critters, don't mess with grandadtommy when he's had a jar or two,
Tomp, you know that in 8 days time, one of them snails is gonna come knockin at yer door. When you answer the door, it's going to look up at you and say, " What did you do that for, I nearly drowned."
do you think thats a parent sibling relationship going on with them snails? or one ofthose sex offender types
go really nice with a bit of pasta and pesto Tom, a few cumquat for dessert, perhaps some creme fresh
its pie and peas up this neck o the woods mick, I was once in a cafe in a posh part of London, I ordered pie and peas and a cup of tea, when the meal arrived i have never seen a sadder looking pie, I cut it open and there was a large piece of grissle in a runny gravy, I jabbed my fork into the grissle and held it high and asked the waiter what it was, he said" its fat sir" I answered " I'm not surpized its fat, Its eaten all meat
